Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, Ryzen 5 3600x, RTX 2070, 32GB RAM, SSD nvme.

Hey, I'm using Linux Mint for some months and I never could open the Steam ingame-Overlay since my first install, reinstalled Mint one time some weeks after the first install and the problem persisted.

Already reinstalled steam, reinstalled games. I'm using the official package of my distro, which I assume is the same from ubuntu.

Ran Steam on terminal and got these outputs when tried to Shift+TAB ingame: (only the relevant parts)

So the longer I have this setup the more I question life. I am running a mobile workstation by HP equipped with the frankly insane AMD Ryzen™ AI MAX+ 395 APU.

But there seems to be ongoing issues with Linux and these APU's , In fact If i use anything other than Ubuntu LTS (24.04) with GNOME I get the following issues :

• System lockups apparently the graphical driver stops refreshing frozen mouse on the screen but everything else is still working in the background.
• Launching a game in Proton will lock up the same way as above.
• Issues with the wifi connection due to power management settings (have to use LTS kernels to fix this)
• Various other soft system lockups.

Note that most of the above issues are extremely unreliable and can happen in 3 minutes or 3 hours.

I have tried the following Distros and all have had the issue with varying levels of frequency / seriousness :

• Cachy OS
• Mint
• Kubuntu
• Endeavour

Ubuntu LTS 24.04 works flawlessly with the GNOME desktop. There are various reports of these issues online with solutions ranging from simply switching to X11 to editing the kernel and recompiling it to change GPU/CPU settings but the common thing with all those threads is how it has fixed the issues for some people and not for others.

I have tried the following :

• Change to LTS kernel (helps a bit but does not fix the issues)
• Use X11 and not Wayland (did not change a thing for me)
• Tinker with various power settings (did not resolve the issues)

I am back on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (GNOME) for now but would ideally like to find a solution to this so I can use other distros or if anyone knows a distro that 1000% works on Strix Halo then that would be welcome. I do not mind vanilla ubuntu but there are really more appealing distros and especially desktop environments out there, I am not a gnome fan.

Thinking about making a switch from window 10 to Mint, and most AAA and AA games I care about seem to run fine, but I play a lot of Ps1 and 2 games on Duckstation and PCSX2, and I'm wondering how's performance on Linux

New luxtorpeda release is available, version 75. For reference, luxtorpeda-dev allows you to run various native engines, and a handful of Windows Mods via Proton, with all of the downloading and setup done for you.

I've got a new blog post about it here - https://luxtorpeda-dev.github.io/blog#new-luxtorpeda-client-release-version-75

Main changes are a Godot 4.6 upgrade for the UI, which is mainly just keeping things up to date. As well, some new Proton mod features

including the ability for the package metadata to set a default proton version for a game, for ones that don't work well with newer Proton versions.

new feature that allows for running setup exes for the first launch, for mods that require an installer. This made the ability to setup and use Deus Ex Randomizer possible. This'll allow for even more Windows mods to be usable in luxtorpeda via Proton. This will automatically download the install exe for the mod, run it on first launch, and then remember that we've already ran it, so it dosen't have to be run again.

If anyone has any more ideas about new native engines, or new Windows mods that could be doable inside Luxtorpeda (github releases or public cdn are best), then feel free to let me know and/or open a issue.

SPECS:
12700k - 4070Ti - 32 Gigs DDR4 3600 MT/S Ram - 1tb Gen 3 SSD.

I have tried running Oblivion Remastered on Fedora, and while it works, the performance is horrid compared to windows. I've tried multiple proton version: GE-Latest, 9.0-4, experimental. Nothing has fixed the performance. On windows, I'd average a stable 70-90 on FPS, with high settings. Now I barely hit 60, on medium to low, with DLSS on performance. The stuttering is awful as-well. Has anyone had better performance on different settings? Looking for any solutions here.

Just recently switched to Linux! I'm trying to find an alternative for Virtual Display Driver, so I don't have to keep my monitor on while strapped in.

I've tried a fair share of solutions using xrandr shell scripts, but none seem to work. While the display is off, I can't start VRChat & WayVR doesn't show any virtual monitors. I can at least get a stream working with ALVR, but I can't get into my SteamVR Home with the monitor off.

Any advice/solutions?

Link to github repository

Sorry for the self plug, but I have been working on this project for a while and I wanted to share it.

It doesn't run much games for now and needs a lot of work to be done, but I am developing it as a solo hobby project and I use Linux myself.

Apps support on Windows and other platforms remain as important to me as Linux.(A caveat being macos, I build for it because github gives me free runners but can't provide support as I don't own any macs myself, but afaik, it works well right now.)

I package it for AUR and Archlinux myself, but feel free to package it for whatever distro you want.

I am a college student snd work on this on my free time, so please bear with me if I am slow to work on issues.

I am not accepting contributions right now, mainly because this is an educational and fun hobby project for me and I want to do it myself, but once the emulator hits a stable 1.0 release, I will make it a community project and start accepting contributions!

The license is GPL3 and the code remaining free and open source and easy to build with minimal dependencies is very important to me.

Basically title. Got tired of Windows surveilance and AI bullshit and switched entirely to Linux Mint. WOW! It is so stable and easy to use. It has awesome apps that you can download and most steam games work out of the box. Never switching back. 🖕 Microsoft for ruining something good.

Hello, I am trying to set up Fluffy Mod Manager for Resident Evil 4 but I'm having issues. I am launching the mod manager through steam with proton, but when I launch it I get an error, I followed 2 guides and both of them did not have any problems, although they were steam deck guides, while I'm on a Bazzite PC. I am attaching the error in an image, hope I get some help, I know this is quite a specific issue so thanks a lot in advance.

As the title says. I just switched to Mint and started up Terraria for the first time and the scroll wheel isn't working in-game at all. It's working liiiiiterally everywhere else (including other games).

Any thoughts?

Demo experience has been a stutter fest regardless of graphics settings. Running a 4070 Super and 9800x3D on Fedora 43 using and the frame timing is all over the place. 120 FPS one second and then 11 half a second later non-stop. Curious if anyone else has given it a go?

Hi all,

First, as a disclaimer, I am a complete Linux newbie, so please have patience with me. I switched Windows for Zorin OS 18. One of the first changes I made in the system was to change the /home folder to a Data drive, if that helps.

Right now, I am having a terrible time making Proton work on Steam. I tried a few games to have an idea of gaming viability and the results were underwhelming to say the least. It follows what I learned so far:

1. Some games run when I use the standard linux version.
2. Games do not run when I try to use Proton
   1. Trying to understand why this could be the case, I opened Steam through the terminal and observed the following sequence of error messages:
      1. vulkan: No DRI3 support detected - required for presentation
      2. Note: you can probably enable DRI3 in your Xorg config
      3. XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0" after 564 requests (473 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
   2. I followed the advice from this post and created the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file. However, the tests u/BetaVersionBY mentioned lead nowhere. The command DRI3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log got me the DRI3: command not found message; whereas the command grep DRI3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log got me grep: /var/log/Xorg.0.log: No such file or directory

At this point, I feel like I tested a lot of things, but games keep not booting and I don't feel like I am getting any closer to a solution.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Bestest,

R.
